2014 Sport - No Air blowing at all. Both hot and cold


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone.

 

I have a 2014 Edge Sport with the Sony Touch system. 

 

3 months ago I had the symptoms of a stuck door actuator (one side blowing hot, the other cold) and followed the reset instructions. This worked for a while. Today the car will not blow any air, I have tried resetting again and restarting the car but nothing.

 

Has anyone suffered this issue? Maybe a stuck or broken blower motor?


Thanks guys

when its a temperature problem, and the reset fails to work, the options are to

a) have ford recalibrate it for you, or

b ) replace the offending actuator

 

no air blowing at all is a different issue.  it could be the front controls interface module (FCIM), blower motor failure, or resistor failure (usually just defaults to high speed, but ...).  the HVAC module itself is rarely the issue.

 

fuse definitely worth a check.

Hello everyone thanks for your replies.

 

The car has the automatic (i think) touch screen controls. 

 

I removed and checked the blower motor and noticed there was some trash inside. I removed the trash and re-installed the fan and all was fine, the car was behaving (coincidence?).

 

It is predominantly my wifes car. She tells me that when it fails there is no air whatsoever coming out the vents anywhere. The touch controls are responsive and show a change of fan speed temp etc on the screen but nothing happens with the fan or temperature. Sometimes a reset works, sometime it does not. Generally, she tells me that when the issue is there it is when she FIRST starts the car and then 5 minutes down the road it will rectify itself. 

 

Really strange! Any ideas?

I'd be concerned as to where the trash in the fan came from. The air flow is taken from the underside of the cowling in the engine compartment,  through a filter (of sorts) through the cabin air filter and into the fan. So where's the junk coming from. Wouldn't take much junk to stop a fan. 

 

From your description, I'd guess the fan rotor is rubbing on the fan shroud. After a while it frees enough to spin. Pull the fan again and make certain the fan rotor clears the housing. If not, try pull it up a little.

 

The other possibility is the fan itself is seizing in the fan bearings. Try a little oil in the bearings (worked for me, two years now).

The fan has now completely given up the ghost. I have ordered a new fan and will be replacing it tonight.

 

I have noticed that a common problem is the resistor. Does anyone have a part number or a non OEM alternative? The ones I am finding are $150+!!

chip shortage is driving up prices of electronics, but i didnt think THAT much.  check on rockauto.com for alternatives/pricing.

 

oem for under 100 here

No resistor in a car with auto climate  hvac system (uses a computer module, and when the resistor fails, it defaults to high). You indicated earlier that you have the auto climate system.

 

I'm agreeing that your motor is bad. The junk kept it from turning, drawing excess current and overheating (these motors require continuous air over).
